ZitatOn Tuesday, Union Theological Seminary hosted a chapel service in which self-identified Christians confessed their climate sins to plants. No, this is not satire from The Babylon Bee — this really happened, and the seminary is defending it without shame. The incident illustrates how dangerous climate change hysteria can become, and how important it is for Christians to actually read their Bibles and reject the syncretism of the world.
"In worship, our community confessed the harm we've done to plants, speaking directly in repentance. This is a beautiful ritual," the seminary announced on Twitter. "We are in the throes of a climate emergency, a crisis created by humanity's arrogance, our disregard for Creation. Far too often, we see the natural world only as resources to be extracted for our use, not divinely created in their own right—worthy of honor, thanks and care."
The seminary acknowledged that confessing directly to plants — as though they were sentient beings or perhaps even a part of some pantheistic god — struck many people as odd. Yet it defended the confession, saying "we're treating plants as fully created beings, divine Creation in its own right—not just something to be consumed. Because plants aren't capable of verbal response, does that mean we shouldn't engage with them?"
Yes, because plants are not sentient and cannot engage in conversation with humans, it makes no sense to "engage with them" through speech. This is not normal, and Christians who know their Bibles can easily rebuke this essential worship of the creation rather than the Creator. Yet Union Theological Seminary claimed that Christian tradition is wrong, and its bizarre ritual is right.
Ah, yes, Union Theological, fount of the toxic neo-paganism which, with the aid of the major cultural organs, has done so much damage to Christianity in America. "In the 20th century, Union became a center of liberal Christianity. It served as the birthplace of the Black theology, womanist theology, and other theological movements. Union houses the Columbia University Burke Library, one of the largest theological libraries in the Western Hemisphere.[4]". Union Theological also played a role in the promotion of abortion in this country through its association with Riverside Church.
I recommend reading the Wikipedia article on this institution. In it you will see many familiar names who have been promoted over the years as authoritative spokesman for Leftist Christianity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Theo..._(New_York_City)
